    Ron Jacobsohn Reviews Wonder Woman

    With so many flops in recent years, with their DC Comics movies, it is refreshing to see Warner Bros. finally getting it right.

    Patty Jenkins was the perfect choice to direct the re-imaging of this superhero icon. Hiring Israeli-born actress, Gal Gadot, gave the writers the freedom to reinvent Diana Prince as the mythological creature she was in the comics and less of the all-American hero she was in the 70’s television show.

    In this movie, Prince is portrayed as an Amazonian who fights for America, so Gadot’s accent is a big asset, not a handicap.

    The movie is a blast of fresh air, a superhero tailored exactly to what we need this summer. Gadot is powerful, empowering, compassionate, driven by purpose while not forgetting to be entertaining.

    This movie is not about the superhero beating up the villains, but rather about the humanity and the characteristics that made Diana Prince into Wonder Woman.

    Wonder Woman has undoubtedly raised the bar for superhero movies, and I am curious to see how the guys in the DC universe will live up to those standards.

    Director Patty Jenkins with Gal Gadot and Chris Pine gives the audience a full return on their investment and a certain sequel order from the studios.

    I loved almost every minute of this one hundred and forty-one-minute thrill ride; I give it a THUMBS UP!

    Ron Jacobsohn Reviews Keeping Up with the Joneses

    The resemblance of this flick to Mr. and Mrs. Smith is uncanny, however the coupling of Don Drapper and Wonderwoman aka Jon Hamm and Gal Gadot is not only as visually stunning as Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt but funny too, as two undercover spies trying to blend-in in suburbia.
    Its true we have seen those type of movies a million times but somehow this is one manages to capture a nerve and just so we won’t be able to claim this is such a predictable storyline, director Greg Mottola already reveals the end of the movie in the first scene… or does he?
    Zach Galifianakis and Isla Fisher give a great over-the-top performance, as the sidekick, suburban couple caught in an espionage triangle.
    This movie wanted to be a bit a satirical about the spy movie genre, however it does fail in that miserably.
    All in all, I really had a good time watching this movie so I am giving it a THUMBS UP!

    Ron Jacobsohn Meets the First Openly Gay Tel-Aviv Mayoral Candidate

    Meretz MK Nitzan Horowitz has decided to throw the hit in ring and run for mayor of Tel-Aviv against incumbent three-term major Ron Huldai calling for a change in Israel’s most popular city. Horvitz’s announcement for his run for mayor of Tel-Aviv already made waves way beyond the boarders of Israel as the world media has already heralded the campaign as “the pilot vs. the gay guy”.
